Calmira Bug Details

B0050 : "List index out of bounds" error in Start Menu properties
You may get a "List index out of bounds" error when you drag an item from one folder to another. This only happens if the item dragged is the last item in the originating folder.

There is a possibility that the Start Menu becomes corrupted, causing loss of items. In that case, restore a backup copy, or install the original start.ini and re-import your Program Manager groups.

Workaround: Copy the last item to the new folder (holding down CTRL), then delete the original item.

B0049 : Corrupted start menu icons
Certain video drivers cannot handle very wide bitmaps, causing bmpcahce.bmp to be corrupted
when being written to the disk. This very old bug has finally been fixed by deviding bmpcache
into rows.

B0048 : Browser setting not read from calmira.ini
If you have set the Browser setting in System Properties, Calmira does not
read the setting back from calmira.ini. This is because Calmira tries to read
the value form the wrong ini section.

B0045 : "Unable to find Kgt7sT4q"
When the Calmira Task Manager is restarting Calmira, this message may pop up.
This is not a bug, but a result of me forgetting to include the updated
ctaskman.exe file in 3.12. To correct this,
download the updated ctaskman.exe.

B0039 : Alias File not found when starting Calmira
When Calmira start with user profiles enabled, Calmira reports that
it can not find the aliases in the \tray directory, and failes to
load the aliases. The error does not occur when the aliases are present
in both \calmira\tray and \calmira\profiles\[user]\tray.

Workaround: Copy the aliases from \calmira\profiles\[user]\tray to
\calmira\tray.

B0034 : Calmira resets to 'All users share the same settings'
When a user opens the System properties dialog, and clicks on OK without opening the
Users tab, Calmira resets to 'All users share the same settings' (MultipleProfiles=0
in CALUSERS.INI).

B0033 : HideMinApps setting incorrectly saved
The setting for 'Hide the icons of minimized applications' is incorrectly saved as
'MideMinApps' in Calmira.ini. Calmira looks for 'HideMinApps' to load the setting.
If it cannot find the setting, it defaults to 1 (true).

Workaround: If you don't want icons to hide, edit Calmira.ini manually (or use
the advanced ini editor) and add (or modify) the following setting under [Taskbar]:
HideMinApps=0

B0030 : Windows 95 keyboard setting not saved from Start Menu properties
If you turn on the check box in the Start Menu Properties dialog to
support Windows 95 keyboards, the setting is not saved when you press
OK. To work around this, open the System Properties dialog and press the
OK button from there.

Reported against: 2.2
State: Confirmed, FixedReleases fixed: II 3.0

B0029 : Limits on lengths of Start Menu item data
The Command, Directory and Icon File fields of Start Menu items are
all limited to 80 characters. The strings will be truncated
if you attempt to convert long strings from Program Manager items.

The solution is to place the long string in the [Environment] section
and use an environment variable in the menu item's fields. This will
cause the long string to be substituted when required, and the
substitution process is limited to 255 characters.

B0028 : Semi-colons are not allowed in Start Menu item data
The START.INI file uses semi-colons to separate the data
of individual fields. This means that you cannot enter semi-colons
in the field data itself, and if you do so, the data will not be
interpreted correctly.

The solution is to add a variable entry to the [Environment] section
using a value that consists of a single semi-colon. You can then use
the variable, %sc% for example, wherever you want to insert a semi-colon.

B0027 : Documentation error for settings restriction
There is a typo in the readme file regarding the prevention of settings
modification. To disable property dialogs and preserve shortcuts,
you should set:

[Calmira]
CanEditSettings=0

and not "CanEditingSettings".

B0026 : Windows 3.1 style Start Menu may not display at correct height
On some PCs, the old-style text menu will be displayed floating slightly
above the taskbar instead of being flush against it. There are no problems
with the 3D graphical menu.

B0025 : Windows 95 colour theme not installed
If you install Calmira 2.2 over version 2.1, the Windows 95 colour scheme
is not automatically installed into Control Panel.
You can add it manually by editing control.ini and adding the
following entry to the [Color schemes] section:

B0024 : System menus on taskbar buttons may not be up to date
If you choose to show actual system menus when you right click over a taskbar
button, the menus that are shown may not be updated by the client program
prior to popup. So if a program normally disables some items, or makes
different commands available at different times, you might not see the
effect from the taskbar.

If you experience this problem, you can update the menu by restoring the
affected program window and clicking once on its close box.

Reported against: 2.1
State: Confirmed, FixedRelease fixed: 2.2

B0023 : Alt+Tab side effects
This is mentioned in the 2.2 Readme -- all grid and tree components used by Calmira
are affected by task switching with Alt+Tab. The focus moves to the
next item along, which causes the Explorer tree to change directory.
The bug appears in the Delphi 1.0 VCL, and was fixed in 1.01.

Reported against: 2.2
State: Confirmed, FixedRelease fixed: II 3.0

B0022 : Some volume labels with more than 8 characters handled incorrectly
This is mentioned in the 2.2 Readme -- Calmira seems to receive all volume
labels in 8.3 filename format. You will not be able to properly display or modify
volume labels that do not fit this.

Reported against: 2.2
State: Confirmed, FixedRelease fixed: II 3.0

B0021 : Tile vertical from built-in Task Manager does not work
Applications may be permenantly minimized and cannot be restored
by clicking buttons on the taskbar.

B0020 : Internet Explorer 3.0 dialler cannot connect to ISP
One or two people have experienced problems connecting to their ISP
while Calmira is running. Dialling proceeds as normal, but the
dialler then returns an "Unable to negotiate protocol" message.

Reported against: 2.1x
State: UnconfirmedRelease fixed: none

B0019 : Win32S help viewer crash
There have been a couple of reports that the WinHlp32 program
crashes when you click on the Find tab. This may or may not have
any connection with Calmira.

Reported against: 2.1x
State: UnconfirmedRelease fixed: none

B0018 : File descriptions are not shown in window title bars
Icon windows that are displaying folders lower than one level down,
i.e., folders not in the root, do not show file descriptions in
the title bars.

B0016 : Error in Start Properties when Programs menu not present
If you are using the DDE feature to update the Start Menu, a top
level menu called "Programs" must exist, otherwise an "Outline index
error" will be reported.
For non-English users with a different word for Programs, edit the
INI file, and in the [Start Menu] section, add the line:

ProgramsGroup={name of existing menu}

Reported against: 2.1
State: Confirmed, FixedRelease fixed: 2.12

B0015 : Startup group not loading after conversion from Program Manager
Calmira looks for a group called "startup" by default. If your version
of Windows uses a different word, edit the INI file, and in the [Start Menu]
section, add the line:

StartupGroup={name of startup menu}

Reported against: 2.1
State: Confirmed, ClosedRelease fixed: n/a

B0014 : Spacebar does not correctly select objects in icon windows
If you select an object using the spacebar, the icon is highlighted
but operations on that object do not work. Pressing Enter will not
open it and using Alt+Enter to invoke the Properties command causes a
general protection fault.

Reported against: 2.1
State: Confirmed, FixedRelease fixed: 2.11

B0013 : Maximized windows resized incorrectly by taskbar
Occurs with some programs when the taskbar is set to stay on screen.

B0011 : Alt+F4 closes shortcuts
This was was supposed to be fixed in an earlier version, but appears to
have resurfaced. Fixed again.

Reported against: 2.1x
State: Confirmed, FixedRelease fixed: II 3.1

B0010 : Keyboard navigation and selection problems
Some files and folders cannot be selected or opened when only using the keyboard.

Reported against: 2.1
State: Unconfirmed, ClosedRelease fixed: none

B0009 : %CurrentDrive% variable does not exist in Disk Properties dialog
Placing a reference to %CurrentDrive% in the disk utility string does not
have the intended effect because the variable does not have any value when
the disk drive icon is clicked on.

Reported against: 2.1
State: Confirmed, FixedRelease fixed: 2.12

B0008 : Icons from startdef.bmp displayed incorrectly
If you select Small Icons for the Start Menu, the $Explore
and $Shutdown commands display the folder picture instead. To
work around this, specify an icon or bitmap file in the Icon From
field for the affected items.

Reported against: 2.1
State: Confirmed, FixedRelease fixed: 2.11

B0007 : Banner disappears after changing Start Menu icon size
If you use a custom banner on the Start Menu, it disappears
after the Start Menu is switched from large icons to small icons
and then back again.

Reported against: 2.1
State: Confirmed, FixedRelease fixed: 2.11

B0006 : Inconsistencies when binning hidden, system or read-only files

B0004 : Version information is not obtained from all files
Some files contain version information that can be extracted by
File Manager but cannot be extracted, or is only partially
extracted, by Calmira.

Reported against: 2.1
State: Confirmed, ClosedRelease fixed: n/a

B0003 : The home page link from the About box may not work
When you click on the hyperlink to the Calmira home page, the URL
that is requested does not have an http:// prefix. So an error
will be reported unless you have "www." as one your your Internet
prefixes (the default INI files do not include this).

Reported against: 2.1x
State: Confirmed, FixedRelease fixed: 2.2

B0002 : Inconsistency in popup hints
If Calmira is set to capitalise the first letter of filename captions,
and descriptions are used as captions, then the popup hints display
the filename even when there is no description. The correct behaviour
should be a "(No description)" hint.

Reported against: 2.1
State: Confirmed, FixedRelease fixed: II 3.0

B0001 : Comma key cannot select/deselect files
The help file states that the comma key is a shortcut for Select All,
but the key is not mapped to any function.
